Near a cafe in the college district.
Han Jeongwoo, a 22-year-old college student, leaned against the cafe's outer wall, scrolling through his family's group chat. To be precise, it was a chat between his "siblings" and parents.
"Hey! How long are you going to stare at your phone?"
"Wait."
He was neglecting his girlfriend right beside him. Lee Yoonjung, who had been dating him for two years now, was glaring at him with daggers in her eyes.
"Are you in your right mind, looking at your phone for 10 minutes straight after we just met? Do you have a death wish?"
"It's important. Didn't we plan to eat omakase today?"
"You said you'd treat me. I haven't eaten anything all day because of that, you know?"
"Sorry, but can we eat something cheaper today and do that next time?"
"What? You want to die?"
Yoonjung's hand naturally grabbed her boyfriend's collar. Of course, she wasn't entirely serious - there was a hint of playfulness in her action.
Truth be told, she didn't care much whether they ate expensive food or not. What mattered most to her was enjoying a date with this seemingly aloof boyfriend of hers. The omakase was just one part of their date plan.
The real issue right now was that this boyfriend of hers was more interested in his phone than his cute girlfriend's face. Despite this being their first date in a long time due to part-time jobs and exams keeping them busy.
Not to mention, Han Jeongwoo's military enlistment wasn't far off.
"And what's so important? Who are you texting so much? Don't tell me it's another woman? Want me to knee you in the face?"
"As if your knee could even reach my face."
"Hey!!!"
Yoonjung's height was just shy of 160cm. In contrast, Jeongwoo stood around 180cm. The height difference made even an elbow attack challenging, let alone a knee to the face.
Despite her short stature, shoulder-length hair, and cute appearance that made her popular, her small frame was unfortunately a source of teasing for her first boyfriend, Han Jeongwoo.
After a brief tussle with her boyfriend, she sighed softly and asked for an explanation.
"So. Why the sudden change? Short on cash? I got paid from my part-time job yesterday, so I can treat us if you want."
"It's not that I'm short on cash. My siblings are going on a trip, so I want to give them some pocket money. For things they might need on the way."
"Oh? Sunhoo's going on a trip with Yeonho? Does he even leave the house?"
"Not Han Sunhoo. Heena."
"Yeonho and Heena?! Are they going on a date? Where to? Seeing as you're giving them pocket money, I'm guessing it's not just around the neighborhood. Where could it be? Everland? I want to go too! Can't I come along?!"
She made a fuss, recalling the faces of the cute boy and girl she had seen several times since dating Han Jeongwoo.
As an only child, she had always fantasized about having siblings. However, that fantasy had been somewhat shattered when she saw her friends arguing with their siblings in middle and high school. They practically lived like enemies.
But thanks to her boyfriend, who doted on his youngest sibling, she had several opportunities to see his youngest brother and girlfriend. And she was amazed.
They were incredibly sweet and pretty. Han Yeonho always smiled in a way that made everyone around him feel good, and Lee Heena, always stuck by his side, looked happier than anyone else in the world.
They scored a perfect 100 from the first impression. Even after talking with them, seeing how they cared for each other and got along well with Han Jeongwoo, her fantasy about siblings was fully recharged.
'If I had a sibling like that, I would do anything for them... I'd treat them so well!'
That had been her daily thought since the day she first met them. Although she hadn't had many proper conversations with them, in her heart, they were already as good as her own siblings.
"Wait, isn't Heena Yeonho's girlfriend? What do you mean by sibling?"
"We've known each other for over 10 years, so she's practically a sister. She basically lives at our house half the time."
"Can't argue with that... Anyway! Where did you say they're going?"
"A water park."
"Let's go! We should go too! I'll pay for everything! I'll spend all my part-time job money, so please!"
"We shouldn't interfere with the kids' date."
"Let's make it a double date!"
As his girlfriend threw a tantrum, punching his arm, Jeongwoo calmed her down and explained the schedule he had just arranged over text.
"Following them to the water park is too much, but I agreed to treat them to a meal next Sunday. You can see them then."
While he did enjoy doting on his youngest sibling or sister, he had no desire to tag along on their trip. His style was to show affection from a slight distance.
"Can't we do Saturday? That works better for me."
"They're going out on Saturday."
"Water park!! Double date!!"
"They'd probably be annoyed if we tagged along, even if they smiled about it. Anyway, is Sunday okay? I told them you'd be coming too."
"I want to hang out with them... Fine, then I'll treat everyone to omakase that day! We need to feed our cuties something delicious!"
"No need. My part-time job pay comes in next Friday, so I'll treat everyone."
"Hey! If you have that kind of money, you should give it to them as pocket money! What omakase? I said I'll pay, so be quiet!"
He chuckled at his girlfriend, who crossed her arms and turned away, clearly not allowing any objections.
It had been 12 years since his youngest brother met his current girlfriend. Even in loving relationships, familiarity can inevitably lead to a loss of excitement, and frankly, people could get tired of each other.
But Han Jeongwoo had never once thought that would happen to those two while observing them all this time. It couldn't happen. Han Yeonho and Lee Heena were practically living together 24/7.
Despite that, they had been loving each other unchangingly for over 10 years. If anything, their feelings seemed even stronger now than when they first met. At this point, it was natural to be confident that they wouldn't change even if they spent another 100 years together.
Moreover, unlike Han Sunhoo and Lee Heeseong, who started acting up around puberty, the two always listened well. They were never a bother when they were young, playing quietly, and that hadn't changed as they grew up. They followed instructions without complaint when asked to run errands.
How could anyone not like them? Anyone would approve of them. Just like his girlfriend, who acted as if nothing was too good for the two.
"Heena said she misses you, by the way."
"Really?! I'm ready to see her right now! Can I visit your house? No, let's go! If our Heena misses me, who cares about food!"
"The house is empty today, so it's just the two of them. Don't disturb them. They'll dislike it if you do."
"Ugh...! I can't risk being disliked... Sigh... How am I going to wait until next Sunday."
As his girlfriend stomped her feet in disappointment, Han Jeongwoo was thinking about his bank account balance. He knew that both sets of parents showered the two with love, so they probably had enough money without him giving them pocket money.
Still, he wanted to do something for them. For his adorable youngest siblings.

"You know Jeongwoo oppa said we'd have a meal together next week, right?"
"With Yoonjung noona? Yeah, I know."
"It's been a while since we've seen noona~ I heard she just finished her exams."
"Noona's not just dealing with exams, she's been working really hard at her part-time job too... She's got nerves of steel, unlike her appearance."
"That's amazing~"
I was lying on the bed, fiddling with my phone, while Heena was sprawled on top of me, texting. We had just taken a bath together, so our bodies were still a bit warm. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
By the way, there was always something that worried me when we met with my brother and noona.
"What should we do? When we meet, they'll probably insist on buying us all sorts of things again."
"I know~ And oppa wants to go for omakase next week?"
"Seriously, what omakase? How much do they even make from their part-time jobs?"
"Should we suggest somewhere else?"
"Hmm... They probably won't listen."
Both Jeongwoo hyung and Yoonjung noona were incredibly stubborn. Once Jeongwoo hyung decided on something, he wouldn't budge no matter what anyone said. Yoonjung noona would just throw a blatant tantrum until we gave in.
They've been dating for 4 years now. I was relieved. When we came back to the past, many things changed due to our actions. I worried that the butterfly effect might prevent hyung and Yoonjung noona from dating, but fortunately, they were still together this time around.
I really liked Yoonjung noona because she always treated me like a real younger brother. She did in our previous life too, but in this life, she treats me even better. Almost too well, to the point where it's problematic.
But strangely, in this life, Yoonjung noona rarely texts or calls. Of course, she's only been dating hyung for about 4 years, and we haven't met that often. Both hyung and noona are quite busy.
Still, given noona's personality, I'd expect her to at least frequently contact Heena to chat, but from what I heard from hyung, she said she likes us so much that she doesn't want to bother us and risk being disliked.
Though she does cling to us a lot when we meet.
"We need to make a deal."
"How?"
"We'll let them treat us to the meal, but for anything after that, we pay. If they don't let us, we'll threaten to go home."
"Hehehe, good idea!"
"Right?"
If we don't do something like this, they really go overboard with treating us. Anyway, I'm glad Yoonjung noona likes Heena too. It's not a bad thing for noona and Heena to become close early on, since they'll be real family later.
"Chu..."
I was wondering what we should do with hyung's couple besides the water park, when Heena shifted her body up slightly and kissed my lips.
"What's that all of a sudden?"
"Your lips were cutely asking for a kiss."
"Oh."
"They keep tempting me, you know?"
She gently bit my lower lip with just her lips. She's really the queen of aegyo. Well, it's nothing new for Heena to kiss me out of the blue.
"Wasn't what we did in the bath earlier enough?"
"In the bathtub? That was so good~ Let's do it again next time!"
"...Oh, by the way, what should we do that day? Want to go to a multi-room with the four of us?"
"Hmm~ I'm fine with anything. As long as we're together."
"Same here, but still."
I blatantly changed the subject. Thankfully, Heena didn't push it. The smug look on her face clearly showed she thought we'd end up doing it again anyway.
What can I do? It's my fault for giving in to temptation today.
"Then shall we think about what to wear, and decide what to do when we get there?"
"Let's wear what we bought today~ Oversized t-shirts with shorts, and the hats we often use."
"You mean for when we hang out with hyung, not for the water park, right?"
"For the water park, let's do couple outfits matching my one-piece!"
"Ah, that one? Sounds good. Let's do that."
"I'm so excited~"
I gently hugged this adorable creature wiggling excitedly on top of me.
Every day was joyful. Even if my self-control struggled sometimes.
Author's Note:
I'd like to write a separate story about Jeongwoo and Yoonjung too. But I'm not sure if I'll actually do it!
Thanks again to the readers who continue to follow the IF story! I love you!
P.S. They kissed in the bathroom. Nothing else...
